Dr. Gail Jackson, a southern girl from Richmond Virginia, completed her undergraduate and medical education at Howard University in the nation’s capital.
She headed west for her obstetrics and gynecology residency training in the Los Angeles County Hospital System.
Dr. Jackson’s passion for ensuring excellent health care for all women inspired her to focus on the female patient as a whole; encompassing a holistic as well
as a traditional approach to health maintenance and all-over well-being.
1. The curriculum in medical school traditionally has been limited to western medicine with the focus on treating disease. Regenerative
or integrative medicine focuses on supporting the body’s natural healing ability using natural or bioidentical supplements in an effort to
prevent disease BEFORE rather than treat disease AFTER it has affected the body. Natural or Bioidentical supplements are used rather
than artificial pharmaceutical medications for this purpose. This is a new topic for doctors and many do not even know it exists, because
they did not learn it in medical school.
2. The scary reports you hear are related to SYNTHETIC, ARTIFICIALLY produced hormones which suppress symptoms and do not
replenish the deficient endocrine organs. Bioidentical estrogen supplements DO NOT CAUSE BREAST CANCER but they also do not
PREVENT BREAST CANCER. When we balance our patients, we minimize the estrogen dosing to respect the health and vitality of the
breasts. Many patients choose to receive testosterone pellets and self administer bioIdentical estrogen via a pill, patch, or cream.
It is still important to continue your scheduled mammograms, physician exams, and to continue to perform your monthly breast
self-examinations.
3. This is THE METHOD of supplementation you should seek to help you manage the hot flashes, night sweats, and other menopausal
symptoms of estrogen deficiency. Since we treat each patient individually, we consider your family history as we balance you.
4. We have patients who cannot or choose to not take estrogen for many reasons. These patients can safely receive testosterone
pellets, which really alleviate most symptoms. Estrogen if or when desired can be administered in a more controlled bioidentical form
like a patch, cream, vaginal ring or pill.
5. Testosterone is primarily a male hormone yet ladies do need ONE TENTH of what a man requires to feel optimal. This one
tenth is the SECRET SAUCE that you have been missing. With this small dose you will receive all the magic (link to Bioidentical
hormone balancing for women) without the masculine appearance.
